MHO6 Series Oscilloscopes: Unlock Precision with 8-Channel Test Platform

Can hybrid control change the way we design power supplies? ROHM Semiconductor Europe’s new reference design combines a Critical Conduction Mode PFC stage with a Quasi-Resonant Flyback converter, all managed by its LogiCoA hybrid control MCU. The result is a compact 24V supply that blends analog efficiency with digital features like calibration and logging. For engineers, this means tighter tolerances, smaller passives, and built-in operational history, helping reduce PCB area while simplifying fault analysis. 👉 How do you see hybrid control influencing future power supply design? 🔗 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/e7QTty5s 👉 Join the club and stay informed: https://lnkd.in/epYBc3kj 🎙️ Continue the discussion on Reddit: https://lnkd.in/edBrha36 #TCC #TheComponentClub #electronics #electronicsengineering #engineering #technews #ROHM #Power #Converters

⬇️ Check out highlights from THine Electronics' story at DAC on tackling complex verification challenges for high-speed communication ICs THine Electronics, Inc., specialists in high-speed interfaces and timing controllers, faced a significant verification challenge with their new IC featuring 8-bit x 8 phase interpolators for high-speed IO interfaces. The verification scope included: • 64 process modes • Multiple temperature and supply voltage values • Hundreds of phase interpolator settings • Tens of thousands of nominal corners • 4-sigma statistical accuracy target Traditional methods would have required around 2 million samples, making verification impractical within production timelines. By implementing an AI-driven methodology with #Solido Simulation Suite and Solido Design Environment, THine completed verification SPICE-accurate verification at 4-sigma with only thousands of samples - reducing the total verification cycle by 100X compared to conventional approaches. This case demonstrates how this AI-powered, silicon-proven design verification flow can address the growing complexity of modern communication IC design.    #semiconductors #simulation #verification #62DAC

⚡ Day 19 of #100DaysOfElectronics 🔧 Component: MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor) A MOSFET is a type of transistor used to switch or amplify electronic signals. It is widely used in power electronics and digital circuits because of its efficiency and fast switching. 🔹 Symbol: Three terminals → Gate (G), Drain (D), Source (S) 🔹 Unit: No specific unit (characterized by parameters like threshold voltage, Rds(on), current & power ratings) 📌 Key Uses: Switching in power supplies & converters Motor control in robotics & industry Amplification in RF & audio systems Digital logic circuits (CMOS technology) 📷 Visual Tip: Circuit diagram showing MOSFET as a switch Animation showing Gate voltage controlling current between Drain & Source 💡 Fun Fact: The MOSFET is considered the most manufactured device in history, with trillions produced every year! 🧠 Quick Tip: Always check the Gate threshold voltage (Vth) before using a MOSFET — logic-level MOSFETs work directly with 3.3V or 5V from microcontrollers. 🔖 Hashtags: #MOSFET #Transistor #ElectronicsLearning #PowerElectronics #STEMEducation #CircuitDesign #100DaysOfElectronics #CircuitCrate

Day 22 of #100DaysOfElectronics 🔧 Component: Operational Amplifier (IC 741) An Operational Amplifier (Op-Amp) is a high-gain voltage amplifier with differential inputs and a single-ended output. The 741 Op-Amp IC is the most classic and widely used op-amp in analog circuits. 🔹 Symbol: Triangle with inverting (–) and non-inverting (+) inputs, and one output. 🔹 Unit: No direct unit (characterized by Gain, Slew Rate, Input Offset Voltage). 📌 Key Uses: Signal amplification Filters (low-pass, high-pass, band-pass) Comparators Oscillators Analog computing (adder, subtractor, integrator, differentiator) 💡 Fun Fact: The first practical op-amp was invented in 1967 (µA741 by Fairchild). It’s still taught today because of its simplicity and versatility. 🧠 Quick Tip: Use dual power supply (+V and –V) for symmetric operation; in single supply, bias the inputs properly. 🔖 Hashtags: #OpAmp #IC741 #AnalogElectronics #ElectronicsLearning #CircuitDesign #STEMEducation #100DaysOfElectronics #CircuitCrate
